Summer 2021 Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion

[Tall Paul]

Never heard that before. Bravo.

Not a Spike Milligan fan then?

[HahaYeah]

Spike Milligan also said he wanted to be buried in a washing machine - to confuse future archaeologists.

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

Always going to be difficult when playing catch up from the past few disastrous windows but a decent window all in all. Hopefully it’s convinced Dyche to sign the new deal. Shame we couldn’t get the attacking midfielder in as our lack of goals is a worry.

[maccclaret]

Not a Spike Milligan fan then?

Not seen much of Spike since he got the measles.

[Rileybobs]

Can’t say I am. Although you having mentioned him, I do recollect reading about the wording on his gravestone before, so I was wrong to say I hadn’t heard the saying.

[Hedontplayforyou]

Well after massive debate on this thread, 10,000+ comments , I think this has been a great window, and a fantastic start to the rebuild of our squad. It been stated on numerous occasions that it will take a good few windows to get it done, but this is a great start.

[Bosscat]

LOLOLOL lets celebrate we finished 4th bottom last season and we have started this season 1/9 points and we have bought players from Stoke (a understudy), Swansea (a player nobody has wanted the entire transfer window), a 34 year old goalkeeper as a back up and Cornet who could be anything but for one reason or another wont see out his contract at this club.

For people to be popping corks over a great window just shows how far we have gone down. If we had a match saturday none of the 4 "great" signing would be playing, great improvement.

what a pill**k you are ... crawl back under your rock sonny ... there are some woodlice who need someone with similar IQ to talk to

[Rileybobs]

All of you flapping about us not strengthening central midfield need to just take a chill pill and see where we are at the end of the window.

[MyRightFoot]

hmmm for 12m and hardly anybody else wanted him throughout the entire window ?? we gave EVERY tom, dick and harry the chance to gazump us including your quote "any top team" but just because he is foreign does not mean people dont know his market value - so on todays actions and value cornet is half the player James is - lets see.

Not all teams especially the top teams have a hole to fill in this position. Not every team wants this type of player. How often do you see a bidding war on a player consisting of shed loads of teams.. rarely.. I hope you wake up happier tomorrow! I certainly will knowing burnley have strengthened the squad and we'll have more options from the bench

[Conroy92]

Is there still something in the works?

[claretburns]

8/10 window for me.

A shame missing out on Christie or another CM but we have definitely increased in quality and good cover for each position. But glad to see we kept hold Tarks, McNeil, Wood etc

Dyche to sign a new deal soon to make it a 9/10.

The new owners have shown they're willing to back Dyche and it made a good change actually being excited checking the new on deadline day in the hope of further signings. Let's hope the rebuild continues in future windows.

[Rileybobs]

Is there still something in the works?

All I will say for certain is that there’s 9 minutes of the window left.

Edit - now 8 minutes.

[Vegas Claret]

i'm really hoping the signing of Cornet will free up McNeil in some games, he was superb away at Palace when he was given the ability to play through the middle. If Cornet can play left and right that's a bonus too

[Vegas Claret]

All I will say for certain is that there’s 9 minutes of the window left.

Edit - now 8 minutes.

+ the hour after to do the paperwork

[Claretpants]

I did. This is the reanimated version of me.

Are we only allowed to have one view forever and never change our minds?

Well said C&J i found the comment sad given your previous brave open post and just thought the poster wasnt aware

good luck in Kendal

And...

Chris Boden stands down!

[burnmark]

Nartey confirmed at Mansfield.

Boden says all is done now.

[claretblue]

I guess you're a glass half-empty sort of chap.

more like a glass slightly damp sort of a chap!

[Dy1geo]

After the signing of Hennessey, Collins and Lennon I had it as a 4 out of 10 window, the signing of Cornet pushed it up to a 6.5 and Robert’s today a 7.5, the latter 2 signings being genuine first team starters So after the disappointing previous windows we have had one that I pretty chuffed about.

[Vegas Claret]

Serge Aurier had his contract mutually terminated at Spurs

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Serge Aurier has agreed to terminate his Tottenham contract by mutual consent, a player who originally cost them £20 million I think it was.

Santo isn't messing around getting rid of players he doesn't want.

[Rileybobs]

Imagine how degrading it must feel to be told to stand down.

[Jimmymaccer]

So, strong enough to survive another season in The Prem?

Yup.

[Pearcey]

Cracking window and glad it’s now over. Come on you Clarets.

[AlargeClaret]

Aside from the toe curling pant wetting giddiness of some , it’s been an encouraging window, we’ve “ injury proofed” the squad ,with a top keeper and 2 younger players while covering the RB and right sided problems with the hopefully exiting Cornet. This should give our midfield a bit more breathing space, releasing Dwight and possibly allowing the better movement and skills of Vydra and Jay R to feature more. Onwards and upwards

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Depends if you're a glass half empty, or half full kinda person.

Or maybe the type who takes the glass and just throws it out the window

[Vegas Claret]

7/10 for me, can't wait for January

[claptrappers_union]

At the beginning of the season, my concern was strength in depth, this window has put my mind at ease. I think we’ll be ok now

[ClaretAndJew]

Thank mate. I get the need to point out other people's crap I've done it myself but I'm all about being able to be honest with myself and admit when I've been wrong or need to change. It's nothing to be ashamed of, it's all part of development and life. Thank you for your well wishes and good luck to you in your endeavours too!

A perfectly fair assessment of our window.

[ClaretTony]

Four articles prepared - one used

[Tall Paul]

Bye to all the transfer window fans. See you on 1st January.

[claptrappers_union]

Can you show us the Mbappe one?

[randomclaret2]

Four articles prepared - one used

Can you say who the others were Tony ? I think you mentioned earlier one was Christie ?

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Everton have signed Rondon, that's Everton fans underwhelmed.

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

Presume one was Christie. Who were the other two?

[grapidianclaret]

That'll do pig, that'll do.

[dermotdermot]

Yes, come on. You can't keep everyone on tenderhooks, CT.

[Devils_Advocate]

Disappointing

[Vegas Claret]

Everton have the biggest set of whingers follow them, complain about absolutely everything. Must be the toughest ground to referee at in terms of pressure from the stands

[Vegas Claret]

Disappointing

you've had a month to come up with something and that's it ?

[Devils_Advocate]

Disappointing

Damn edit button....meant to write what a good window

[minnieclaret]

with the hopefully exiting Cornet.

Exiting, he’s only just arrived. I too hope he’s exciting.

[NewClaret]

Great window. Slightly tainted by Christie turning us down, but equally not interested in fussy players that don’t want to work for the shirt. Roberts’ attitude was the complete opposite & exactly what we want!

Most pleasing aspects for me:

1. We’ve kept our core squad together, which I always felt was critical.

2. We appear to be looking a level above where we have before. Here’s hoping that continues, and if it does we might be glad Christie went to Bournemouth come January.

[Juan Tanamera]

I guess you're a glass half-empty sort of chap.

For glass read head.

[Ric_C]

Really liking the Roberts and Cornet signings. Not only do they (in theory) improve our first eleven, but they both can play in multiple positions, which is a bonus for a club such as ours. As others have said, we now have the personnel to try a 4-5-1 or a 3-5-2 on occasion.

Would have ideally liked a centre mid and to freshen up the strikers, but I'm glad we've addressed the Right back situation as I've felt for a while that it is one of our weakest positions, even though both Bardsley and Lowton have performed well when asked.

[Paul Waine]

What happened to Weston McKennie? Sky ticket said offered to Burnley on loan - 15 mins back.

Turin

Of course "ticket" should be "ticker." I ran out of editing time.

Hi New, agree, great window to keep all the key players.

Great, also, to see the investment in the squad.

Exciting times.
